First published in 1919, as the second edition of a 1917 original, this book was written as part of the Cambridge Technical Series. The text provides a guide to the chemistry of dyestuffs and the dyeing process in two parts: part one discusses intermediate compounds; part two discusses dyestuffs. A bibliography and illustrative figures are also included. Notes are incorporated throughout. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in applied chemistry, the history of science and the dyeing industry.
